wednesday, i found a pregnant stray cat (she looked like she was going to explode any second!). eek!! neither ed nor i have ever had an animal have babies so this is a new experience for us! i made the kitty comfortable in a bathroom and waited. and waited. finally, last night, at around 1:00 am, the first kitten was born!! mommy did a great job, especially for a very young, first-time mommy. :-) by 9:30 this morning, she had had 5 healthy, precious little kittens - 4 black, one grey. they are all healthy and nursing and mommy kitty is doing great!
calvin kept watch outside the bathroom door and once the mews of kittens started, all three dogs stood outside the door, heads tilted, trying to figure out this new, odd sound! too funny.
i'll be keeping an eye on things for the rest of the day, just to make sure there aren't any more kittens! :-)
